Hardik Pandya's Mumbai Indians will aim to plot revenge on 2008 champions Rajasthan Royals in their upcoming fixture of the Indian Premier League season 2024 on Monday. Record-time winners Mumbai were blown away by the Rajasthan Royals bowlers when the former champions squared off against Sanju Samson and Co. in MI's den. Sparking a batting collapse of the Mumbai Paltan, former MI pacer Trent Boult made sure Pandya endured a tough homecoming at the Wankhede Stadium.
Boult handed Rohit Sharma and Naman Dhir golden ducks as RR restricted MI to a below-par total of 125-9 in 20 overs. Riyan Parag's unbeaten knock of 54 off 39 balls powered RR to a comfortable six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians. However, Mumbai Indians have bounced back after a poor start to the new season. Hardik and Co. have arrived in Jaipur after recording three wins in the last four matches.

Coetzee has picked up 12 wickets, and the pacer is MI's second-highest wicket-taker for the visitors.
